The Cafe!

We had such a great time meeting so many new

people as you joined in our very first

This fun *twist* didn't throw any of you!

There was some pretty CrAzY creativity on offer!

Before we go any further, we are thrilled to name

the winner of the 'Combined Grind Challenge.

This is the person who followed the requirements

Our regular 'Cup of the Week' Winner

will be announced at the end of this post

as usual.

It's time to get back to basics with

another fantastic color challenge for you!

Let's hear from Senior Designer Ruby 2 Shoes 

who is your host for this week...

"I came across this gorgeous photo on

Julie Ebersole's blog and she very kindly said I

could use it for my colour story.

As soon as I saw it, I smiled.

It's just so cheerful and inviting.

I'm sure it's no secret that I love my bright colours,

and this is just fab!

Hope you enjoy using them as much as I did with

my quirky little character!"

This week's guest designer is the super-talented

Maria Gurnsey...

"I started paper crafting as a scrapbooker and 

purposely avoided stamps 

because I didn’t want to fund another hobby.

Who knew paper could get so expensive. 

Eventually I caved and now my craft room is filled with stamps.  

 I love combining scrapbooking and stamping but I spend most 

of my time making cards.   

They are little pieces of art that I love sharing. 

I currently design for {ippity} by Unity stamps 

and Rubbernecker.  I’m also an {ippity} chick and sell the stamps on my{Sales Blog}http://salesbym.blogspot.com   

I’m most proud of the 

Gurnsey Gingham stamp that was named after me.  

 I’m a gingham fanatic…hence the name of my blog 

{Gingham and Polka Dots} http://scrapsbym.blogspot.com

I have been published in Paper Crafts magazine and love the 

friends that I have made online through this hobby.   

Challenge blogs are one of my favorite ways to get my 

mojo flowing and  

The Play Date Café 

is one of my favorites.

Thank you to all the designers for letting me 

play along this week."

How fun to also have Maria as this week's sponsor!

and how very cool that you have an opportunity

to win her 'namesake' image along with another

amazing set of stamps from Ippity,

a prize package worth $30!!!
